## Description

SearXNG Scraper is an MCP server that queries public SearXNG instances and parses HTML search results into structured JSON data. Developed by Piotr Wilkin, it extracts URLs and summaries from search results using regex pattern matching, with built-in fallback mechanisms that attempt multiple configured SearXNG instances when one fails. The implementation supports time-range filtering for search queries and handles connection errors gracefully, making it valuable for applications requiring web search capabilities without direct dependency on commercial search APIs.
